How Does it Work?

We will introduce you very gently into running by beginning with a walk/run method, where we will gradually increase time spent running and decrease time spent walking, over 9 weeks. You will join other beginner runners where everyone is in the same boat. An expert coach and former beginner runners will look after the group and guide you through the program. You will also be given a training schedule to follow and email access to your coach for any questions. At the end of the program, you should be able to run a 5K (3.1 miles) without stopping.

What if I progress quickly? When you feel ready, we will transition you into the regular Revolution Running group workouts.
